Chemicals & Materials Solution
Dotmatics offers a purpose-built informatics platform for chemicals and materials R&D that accelerates formulation development and experimentation through connected capabilities—including ingredient management, process capture, testing integration, and advanced analysis tools—enabling scientists to configure workflows tailored to diverse materials science domains while enhancing traceability, reproducibility, lab digitization, and data-driven decision support.
Purpose-built informatics for chemicals and materials R&D
Accelerate formulation development and streamline experimentation with ELN and data tools designed for the unique complexity of materials science.
Connected capabilities for real-world chemicals and materials science
Ingredient Management
A flexible registration system for tracking ingredient properties, built on entity registration, supporting chemical and domain-specific attributes. Enables full traceability of formulation components, simplifies experimental setup, and improves data integration across materials science workflows.
Process
A process capture tool that documents the sequence of formulation steps, including equipment use and associated metadata. Enhances reproducibility, compliance, and institutional knowledge capture by tracking how products are made and the context in which they’re developed.
Testing
Workflow tools that connect formulation data to testing requests, with native lab digitization or LIMS integration for end-to-end tracking. Links product specifications to test results, improves decision support, and enables standardized or integrated lab workflows.
Analysis
Integrated data discovery and visualization tools that support ontology-backed search, data export (e.g., to Prism), and modeling applications. Enables deep insights through advanced analytics, streamlines reporting, and lays the groundwork for predictive modeling and AI/ML applications.
